Hi everyone,

I'll go perhaps in Bolivia in february and obviously I'd like a guide about birds of this part of the world. But I can't have an serious information.

I've this link:

http://www.neomorphus.com/projects/birdsofbolivia.htm

But there's not really precise information for a forthcoming volume.

Do you have news

Thanks

It's good to see something is in the works to fill in the last virtually blank spot on the continent. I'd also be interested in some kind of a realistic time frame for these books. Judging from experience with other such books, I'm afraid "past 2015" might not be far off? Anyway, definitely no chance for a February 2012 trip.

For sure it's gonna be a lil bit late for 2012 ^^

However I saw that book which emcompasses Bolivia, even if it's not focused on Bolivia

That book isn't all that good, although it's perhaps better than nothing. You might want to have a look at the following website:

Well so apparently a book about Birds of Bolivia would be published in the year 2011, isn't it wrong?

I read the 2011 as a hope, not a strong commitment ...

I would suggest to use following books:

Birds of South America:Non-Passerines: Rheas to Woodpeckers by Francisco Erize and Maurice Rumboll.

Field Guide to the Songbirds of South America: The Passerines by Robert S. Ridgely and Guy Tudor

I'll do if I have to, but off course I'd prefer a Field guide of the birds of Bolivia. However it's not confirmed I'll go in Bolivia.

If I'll go in Peru off course I'll be proud to use this great publishing:
